Cloud Remote PS4 announced with confirmed shipping date

Sony has just announced a new product for the PS4, with the Cloud Remote on its way to users next month and available to pre-order now.

The PS4 Cloud Remote offers users the ability to automatically detect and program devices to the PS4 using Cloud technology.

It is powered by Bluetooth and can control basic commands on the TV, as well as input commands on the PS4 thanks to the included dedicated buttons – a Share button is also featured on the Remote as you can see from the pictures below.

The price for this new remote is going to be $29.99 and you can pre-order from PDP’s website here – the shipping date will be on September 18. As an added incentive, Sony are throwing in a 30-day trial for PlayStation Vue Core when you buy the Cloud Remote as long as you are a new subscriber to PlayStation Vue.
